Let's start by establishing that the Eagles are my all-time favourite band. I started listening to my father's copies of Hell Freezes Over and Actual Miles and loved both of them with the exception of that one track on Actual Miles, Garden Of Allah, which really sucks, but that's a story for another day.

I later went on to get the two disc The Very Best Of (disc 1) and enjoyed all of it. In fact, being quite particular with my music, I was amazed that I could sit and listen to both compilations for the full 80 minutes without ever feeling the need to skip a track. Maybe Midnight Flyer and Hole in the World one or two times, but I swear that's it. (I'm linking you to all of my least favourite Eagles and Henley songs...)

Anyway, from there I bought Desperado, Hotel California and "The Long Run", which Last doesn't have for some reason. I also picked up the DVDs for "Hell Freezes Over" and their new "Farewell 1 Tour" for my dad and I to watch.
